Theranos was a shady company. But it wasn't a public company. The shadiness was the company itself.



Were the people being shady not also stock holders doing shady things to keep the stock price up?


I think there is a difference in the company itself being shady and investors being shady to influence the stock price. The long pump and dumpers definitely fall into the latter category and similar to the shorts described in my link.
